No problem with that at all so long as they are part of the debate rather than trying to shut debate down.

Except there is no debate.
Thanks to the multitude of news sources available, it is easy to only watch that which reinforces your world view and tends to confirm your prejudices. US politics has become so polarised that there are very few people with a balanced view and thus no middle of the road opinion.
There are actually many, many sensible Americans who support Trump and see Hilary Clinton as evil incarnate. Their simplistic view is that they have worked hard, saved, pay into healthcare schemes from their earnings and she wants to take the majority of their earnings off them and give it to lazy people who made no provision for their own care and illegal immigrants.
We (probably correctly) see Trump as a dangerous lunatic, but don't make the mistake of thinking all his supporters are, nor that he is unelectable...

Polarisation is on purpose, in reality both are middle of the road parties, only different flavour, for different target group.
Polarisation gives tribal spin and retains voters. Simples.
